An open letter to all the “Custodians” of Democracy on the occasion of Guru-Poonam

You are sad sitting on a chair, depressed with monotonous life-style. You started listening to Sant Shri Asharam Bapu’s discourses or devotional songs; and now you are filled with energy and ready to accomplish your assignments with renewed enthusiasm! Elegant dancing movements of a true saint realized you of your spiritual existence except this mortal body with thoughts of mine and thine.

Now the saint, who made you dance even in ordeal of life with energy nectar of Vedanta is in pitiable condition since He is ensnared in a fake rape case. And now He is suffering from chronic diseases. Doesn’t He deserve proper facilities and rest at the age of 79? He, who nurtured the society with positive spiritual thoughts, is suffering from numerous diseases and medical board is about to set as to what can be done. The severe ailments that He is suffering from, are as under:

CIDP (Chronic Inflammatory De-myelinating Poly-neuropathy), which leads to numbness and even paralysis, which may worsen the condition if not treated timely and adequately

TGN (Trigeminal Neuralgia):- Mobile jammers in jail are leading to augmentation of the disease symptoms manifold

Hypothyroidism

Anemia

Bilateral Sacral Radiculopathy, which leads to spine and back pain, which is further augmented by Him going to the court regularly in ‘Vajra’(as per the hearing date) and is a major cause of His ailing health

Urinal infection:-Irregularities in diet and contaminated water of the jail is further impacting this aspect of His health

Early Osteoarthritis of both the knees, causing intolerable joint pain

It is expected from our judiciary, which gives almost ‘instant’ relief to cine stars, leaders, journalist even at their sneezing; and is procrastinating decision in this case, thereby delaying justice by slow poisoning of adjournments; to make appropriate decision.

Why human right association not taking cognizance in this matter about a world renowned saint, is the question unanswered for long.

In one thinks that disciples and followers of Bapuji are not supporters of women’s rights, they are absolutely incorrect. One must see the strength of women during protests, rallies, or the queues of women near jail and court premises, who have reverential faith on Him; something that media fails to cover in the news. There are numerous people who, without caring about their designation and education, sit in dusty surroundings just to have the glimpse, i.e. ‘Darshan’ of their beloved Guruji.

Yet, if you think that a girl as young as His granddaughter, is unsafe with a true saint like Bapuji, then you deserve to go for a mental check-up; as women uplift-ment centers to improve the plight of the women in all aspects; are being run in His auspices even today.

So, what judiciary is planning this time – Hope, at least not further delay of justice, by giving excuse of lack of documents, absence of concerned persons, lack of medical reports etc.!

Please do not put all devotees’ patience to test. This time we really need justice. On the occasion of Guru Poonam, a disciple is obliged to offer some ‘Dakshina’ to the Guru. Ask yourself whether we are going to gift Him an environment where His health conditions be deteriorated/improved by granting bail. Brahmins are given something when they chant some mantra and the Self Realized saint who Himself is the entire Brahman (i.e. the Universe) and is God personified, is being maltreated in a country that is considered to be the land of Saints. Now enough is enough – If it happens any further, it will tarnish the image of Indian judiciary and media internationally.

Does the peaceful and co-operative attitude for administration affirm His crime? No. Why judiciary is taking this matter for-granted thereby indirectly provoking the disciples for more protests and not seriously understanding the facts and circumstances of His ailing health conditions?

Let the judiciary take its decision by judiciously recalling its purpose of providing justice to the ‘deserving and innocents’ without acceptance of any undue influence of foreign funded Christian missionaries with the backing of political leaders when the alleged “rape-victim” girl’s connection with Anti-social organization SIMI has already been disclosed.
